NIGHT MEETING HELD AT fERRE HAUTE
Demonstrations by College Biadents
nt Bloomluarton, Greencastle and
Crawfordsvllle Senator
Denies Report.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. t-Nearly
twenty speeches were made today by Sen
ator Charles W. Fairbanks In western In
diana, beginning at Bloomlngton, In the
morning, and concluding with a large and
enthuslastlo evening meeting at Terre
Haute. College demonstrations were nota
ble features of the day's tour, students
turning out In large numbers at Blooming
ton, Greencastle and Crawfordsvllle.
In a brief speech at Newport Senator
Fairbanks took occasion to deny a pub
lished report thRt In the event of the dem
ocrats carrying the Indiana legislature he
would refrain from qualifying as vice pres
ident If elected and would remain in the
senate.
In his speech at Crawfordsvllle before
oie of the largest audiences of the day
Senator Fairbanks referred gracefully to
General Lew Wallace, who ts a resident
of Crawfordsvllle, Here he said In part:
We are obliged in a few days to declare
our allegiance to some political party. It
matters not what we say here or what we
think here upon political questions, but It
Is ail Important what we do at the ballot
box of next Tuesday, if we are in fHVor
of republican policies and their contlnu-
muue we must so declare our potent Judg
ment at the ballnt hm.
I observe that there are some of our
countrymen greatly distressed over the
subject of Imperialism. When I heard the
enthusiastic cheers that came up from
the boys of Wabash college. I did not dis
cover In their manifestation of kindly
Interest any apprehension as to the future
of the republic
The republican party has been the best
friend of republican institutions we have
had since the time of George Washington.
It know something about what this re
public standi for. In a serious hour the
bitterness of which had faded away and
I hope is gone forever the republican
party stood for national unity. It stood
for the maintenance of the supremacy of
our flag in tho United States. Our course
In the Philippines is conslaten with the
principles of republicanism. We went Into
them under the leadership of on of the
best statesmen this country has ever pro
duced, William McKlnley. You do well to
cheer that name. Among all the mighty
dead none will stand higher through the
future In the esteem and admiration of
the world. Theodore Roosevelt stands for
the same policies for which William Mc
Klnley stood. You have heard that name
before, my countrymen, you will hear much
of It In the future. Theodore Roosevelt
Is carrying forward the policies of Wil
liam McKlnley, not only in the United
States, but is carrying forward his policies
in the far off Philippines. I do not blame
our deniocra'lo friends for trying to erect
an issue In the Philippines. I do not really
blame them fer trying to win the minds
of the American people from a contempla
tion of democratic mistakes at home by
crying imperialism in the Philippines. If
th republican party had been so uniformly
opposed to great and wholesome poliies
In the United States, and had been guilty
of so many mistakes I would be In favor
2;i?,,lt.,party creating an issue 8,000 or
80,000 miles away. . ,

CINCINNATI, Nov. 8-TVrrlbly cut and
crushed about the head,' the dead body of
Alma Stelnway, a telephone operator, aged
18 years, was found in a vacant lot near
the Spring Grove cemetery at i Wlnton
Place, a suburb, today,- While there are
male footprints In the trail where the body
was found, there hi no clue to the, murder.
The girl left the telephone office at Cum
mlnsvllle at o'clock lint night and her
body was found In the lot near the ceme
tery this morning. Her head and face had
been crushed by a blow from a blunt In
strument. From one wound the brains
were oozing,, another blow had crushed
her Jawbone, knocked but several teeth
and a triangular 'section bf the Jaw itself.
From the . place where the' body was
found a bloodstained trail marked the path
along which the body 'had been dragged.
Along this trail was Itfund the imprint of
heavy boots, apparently those of the mur
derer. No other Injuries were found on
the body except the vunds on the head.
It Is believed the girt .was waiting for a
Wlnton Road car wqon . attacked. A street
car transfet punched at : p. m. was
found tightly clutched In her hand which

Tonight Conductor Prahtf Llmle told the
police that Alma Stelnway, the murdered
girl, got on his car but night Tat Knowl

couple rode to Wlnton rid and got off.
He said the man had frequently ridden
with Miss Stelnway,' Limle said the man
was about 38 years old and that he could
Identify him If he saw him again.
There is a striking similarity in the
murder of Miss Stelnway to that of Louise
Mueller, whose mutilated body was found
a month ago, about ba If a ir'le from where
the body of Mis Sielnwt.y was found,
and Chief of Detective Crawford Is of the
opinion that one ooiumltted both deeds.

CODY, Wyo., Nov. 8 -(Speclal Telegram.)
Colonel Cody arrived here at 8 o'clock
tonight In a special train, accompanied by
his English and New York friends. Ar
rangements were completed for the big
hunt, and the party will start for the game
fields early in the morning. It Is slated
positively that Colonel Cody and his scouts
will take no part In the hunt for the Cody
bank robbers.
The statement attributed to Colonel Cody
in Omaha that the federal government had
several thousand dollars on deposit In the
local bank, the funds to be used In the
completion of the big Shoshone Irrigation
enterprise, was a mistake, for the govern
ment has at no time had funds on deposit
here.
V The statements that the rewards now ag
gregate 810,000 are also exaggerations. Only
t.'.OiO is offered.
Harvey Logan is not a member of th
gang, of this the officers are certain.
THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Nov. 8. (Special
Telegram.) Sheriff Fcnton of Big Horn
county came In tonight with the Informa
tion that the two Cody bank robbers have
been surrounded In the bad lands, near
Klrby creek, cast of the Big Horn river,
and twenty-five miles northeast of this
place. The posses are drawing closer and
closer to the outlaws and their capture is
now certain, says theofficer.
Feeling is still running high throughout
the country and the fate of the bandits
is certain death the moment they fall into
the handa of the indignant people.
Sheriff Fenton had " a conference with
Sheriff Stough of Fremont county and th
two officers will leave again In the morning
for 'the Bad Lands in the vicinity of Tar.lv-
ereek, cast of the Big Horn river. wliesV
Fenton believes he has the outlaws sur
rounded.,. The officers will endeavor to pre
vent the robbers (mm penetrating the in
terior of the Bad Lands, for once lnslda
their capture would become an extremely
hazardous task.
, During the day posses patrolled the open
country between Cottonwood, Grass, Goose
berry and Owl creeks.
The fact developed today that the out
laws, after leaving Cody Tuesday evening,
traveled, ' 'over, the main county . road to
within -four miles of , this place, then made
a detour' to th aouthwest and entered the
main road again six mile out; They have

termined to get the robbers.. 'The bandits
have cut all the telephone wlrea leading
through the baBln and It Is almost impos
sible to get further facts.
A telephone message from Basin, the
county seat, says that Sheriff Fenton and
posse are in the Bad Lands over near
ThermnpolLs. a long distance from tele
phones. This forenoon Fenton sent a man
back to the nearest telephone station to
report to Basin that he and party had the
outlaws located and expected to get them
today. The bandits are getting among
friends snd It is thought that the sheriff's
party will have some hard fighting on its
hands.
MEETEET6E, Wyo., Nov. 8. The bandits
who shot and killed Cashier Mlddaugh of
the First National bank Tuesday in tho
endeavor to rob the bank, were brought to
bay early today in the almost virgin
forest between Meeteetse and Thermopolis.
Death either by rifle shots or by sllp

a few hours and it Is believed the rob
bers realize that they have been caught
in a .trap that means destruction.'

BALDWIN RECOVERS AIRSHIP
It Had Anchored Itself to Dead Tree
( and -Wua But Slightly
Injured.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8. The airship of Cnp
tain T. S. Baldwin, which suddenly slipped
away last night aa It was being towed in
from the country to the aeronautic con
ccurae, wan found today sixteen miles west
(If St. Louis. It was unharmed by Its wild
night flight save tor two small rents In the
gns bag, which Captain Baldwin stated
could be repaired In half an hour.
Wien the . "Arrow" escaped there was
Just enough gas to lift the craft well off
the ground. Inventor Baldwin expressed
his belief at the time that the cold night
air would condense the gas rapidly and
cause the airship to come down in the
vicinity of St. Louis. After floating In the
wind for sixteen miles the airship came
down to within a abort distance of the
ground and the anchor rope became en
tangled In the dejvrf limb of a tree. This
erved a an anchor ane, the airship was
found o moored In a corn field by farmer.
Word reached Baldwin late In the day
that hi airship had been .-found. He and
Aeronaut Knabenshue hurried to the- scene
In on automobile and were rejoiced to find
the aerial, craft uninjured, with the excep
tion of two slight tears In the balloon.
The- balloon was deflated and after ne
gotiation had been completed with a
farmer the collapsed airship was loaded
onto a hay wagon and brought back to the
exposition aerodrome.
Captain Baldwin stated tonight that he
expected to have the airship In readiness
.'or a flight by Saturday afternoon.

MICHAEL DAVITT ARRIVES
Irish Leader Come to New York for a
Month' Stay Talks of Affair
in England.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8. Mlchsel Davitt ar
rived today on the White Star line steain
shlp Cedrlc. He said he came on private
business had that be will return to Ire
land in December. In an interview he
said:
I believe the Russian fleet firing on the
fishing fleet was the result of some misun
derstanding. It was the result of an over
sight. Such a thing as might happen to
anyone else. German and EngllHli papers
had intimated that the Japanese might
attack th Russian fleet in the North sea.
Russia knew that when she was on the
coast of Ireland, she was on the coast of
an enemy, JUBt as surely as though England
had declared open war upon her. tihe wan
certainly Justified In view of these facts
In taking no chances. Of course, all re
gret the loss of life. No one. not even In
England, believes that Russian naval of
ficers would Are on fishermen if they knew
l.iem io do sucn.
Political matters are simmering in Eng
land. The government, which Is sure of
defeat, will call the election at a time when
It can do It the least harm.
Chamberlain has gone to Egypt. Some
say he Is politically run down more thnn
he la physically. He is knocked out of the
political ring.

Confirm Loss of Jnp Ship.
PARIS, Nov. 8 The Associated Presa
was put In a position today to state post
tlvely that Its dispatches from Che Foo,
Port Arthur and Toklo last June to tha
effect that the Japanese battleship Yash
ima had been sunk by a mine oft Dalny,
which dlHpatches were denied by the Jap
anese authorities at the time, have finally
been oflicially confirmed. The Japan
government ha notltted foreign govern
menta of the loss of the ship, The number
of men who went down with tho vessel 1
not known, but It is believed to have been
small. The official details show that the
Yashlma struck a Rusxlan mine and later
attempted to make Dalny hnrbor, but this
proved Impossible and It sank in deep
water.
The Ions of the Yashlma has been con
eealed by the Japanese, though the Rus
sian authorities have believed for soma
time that the reports that the battleship
had been destroyed were correct, It is Im
portant stneo It Is now disclosed that
Japan has only four modern battleships
remaining. 1 These are the Asahl, Fuji,
Mlkasa and Shlklshlma, Another vessel
classed as a battleship Is the Chin Yan,
taken from China In 1894, but it is old
and not of much fighting value. Naval
experts say that the small battleship fore
possessed by Admiral Togo was responsible
for the tactics he observed at the naval
battle of August 10, when Admiral Wlthoft
attempted to escape from Port Arthur, tha
Japanese battleships refusing to come to
close quarters with the enemy, but pound
lug them from a distance and sending in
the torpedo boat destroyers to make night
attackf. The Yashlma was one of the fin
est battleship of the Japanese navy. Its
displacement was 12,300 tons, about tha
size of the American battleship Mulne, and
it had a speed of nineteen knot, it cur
ried a heavy battery of four twelve-Inch, ten
six-inch and twenty-four other gun of
smaller calibre. Tho Russian squadron nt
Port Arthur Includes five modern battle
ships, more or less dumnged, and Rear
Admiral Rojestvensky's cornmund, which la
now enroute from the Baltic to the far east,
also numbers Ave battleships. In view of
the inferiority of the Japaneso In buttle
ships their armored cruiser strength Is Im
portant, they being vastly superior to tha
Russluns in this respect.
